About Katherine Howes

Hi I’m Kate! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Florida with 6 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, & anger management. My main goal when working with clients is to meet them where they are at and help them find confidence in moving forward. Every person is unique and their treatment should be the same.

I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I have worked within the juvenile justice and school systems for most of my professional career and find this helps me interact well with people from all different walks of life. I want to help you find the strengths within yourself and build upon them to find success in whatever your goal is in counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage and strength. Let’s work together to keep this momentum moving forward toward a positive future.
